I cry my soul to sleep
Somewhere in the starless night
I yearn for safety's keep
Away from hurt outside of time
Oh wherever I run I can hide
From the knife in the lightI close my eyes to be free
Of all the loneliness I feel
So many against me
So many seek to harm me dear
Oh protection sweeping over me
Youe my hope my shieldLead me through the darkness
Lead me through the bitter tears
Guide me to my only hope
Lead me through the shadows
Lead me through the darkness tonightThe raging waters fall
All around and drowning me
See my life in chains
Show me mercy hand me down the keyOh you are my shield my glory
You can set me freeLead me through the darkness
Lead me through the bitter tears
Guide me to my only hope
Lead me through the shadows
Lead me through the darkness tonightIn times of trouble you come to me
In times of danger you come to my aid
You give your all to me,
When I need it most
And lead me though
You guide me through the sweet and bitter tearsAh lead me, oh hold me
Come on and show me
Lead me onLead me through the darkness
Lead me through the bitter tears
Guide me to my only hope
Lead me through the shadows
Lead me through the darkness tonightLead me on
Lead me through the sweet and bitter tears
Lead me on
Lead me on
